Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Lee, Ji-Eun; Mason, Craig A.; Sawrey, Katharine; Ottmar, Erin – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Understanding equivalence is fundamental to STEM disciplines, yet misunderstandings and misconceptions inhibit students from fully appreciating or leveraging the concept. Using the game-based algebraic notation system, From Here to There! (FH2T), students explore ideas of equivalence by dynamically transforming expressions or equations among…

Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Avery H. Closser; Vy Ngo; Hannah Smith; Allison S. Liu; Erin Ottmar – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Prior work has shown that middle school students struggle with algebra and that game-based educational technologies, such as DragonBox and From Here to There!, are effective at improving students' algebraic performance. However, it remains unclear which aspects of algebraic knowledge shift as a result of playing these games and what…

Matthew Finster; Lauren Decker-Woodrow; Barbara Booker; Craig A. Mason; Shihfen Tu; Ji-Eun Lee – Grantee Submission, 2023
COVID-19 contributed to the largest student performance decline in mathematics since 1990. The nation needs cost-effective mathematic interventions to address this drop and improve students' mathematics performance. This study presents a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of three algebraic technological applications, across four conditions:…

Umbara, Uba; Munir; Susilana, Rudi; Puadi, EFW – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
This study discusses the development and effectiveness of game instruction on mathematical communication skills. This feature, developed using Microsoft PowerPoint, provides learning instructions with a chain game called algebra dominoes. The principles of independent learning and mastery learning are strategies in learning to ensure that students…
